slow cooker root beer brisket recipe

Did you know that I have a brand spankin' new Facebook page? I do. It is so cute, it hurts. I realized that making a Facebook fan page so-cute-that-it-hurts was above my skill set, so I did what any girl would do, I hired out. (The girls at Tarte are amazing. I highly recommend them.) I went to my Facebook page to answer a reader question, and imagine my surprise when I found this gorgeousness in place of my sad and tired old one. There she was, all pretty and organized, and best of all - … [Read more...]

wine marinated pot roast recipe

Is it cold where you are?  This week has proven to me that I am out of practice when it comes to cold weather.  I had to buy my first real pair of shoes in 4 years a few days ago.  I have lived in flip flops and ballet slippers for so long that I forgot that shoes were a necessity.  And jackets.  And layers.  This California (by way of NJ, SC, NC, NS, etc.) girl is not used to 37 degree weather any more.  I am in for a rude awakening, or so I have been told by Kansas natives.  I like … [Read more...]

The Best Hamburger Ever

best hamburger recipe ever

I think that hamburgers are a very personal thing.  People are very opinionated about what makes the best hamburger ever.  I am new to the burger, I never really liked them until I married my husband.  I just never got it.  I don't like to get messy when I am eating.  I can be no fun sometimes.  Okay, a lot of the time.  But, now I love them.  And I am very picky about them.  The hamburgers that I love to eat are made with the best ingredients available.  Just like this one.  I … [Read more...]
